When the rain just won’t go away, don’t leave those household projects for another day. Use these rainy days to get your home in order. Here are three super-smart ways to organise your hallway in a day.

A couple of hours to spare

Who says you have to compromise on form to get good function? Not us. We’ve used these hanger knobs to add colourful organisation to the hallway. We’ve screwed the knobs to the wall at heights just right for everybody. But if you can’t put screws in the wall, these knobs come with a self-adhesive backing for an even quicker way to get organised.

Keep track of who’s doing what and when. We fixed magnet boards to the wall for postcards and letters and we made a communal calendar using a corkboard and some tape. The boards can be placed vertically or horizonally for flexibility, meaning you can create your own customised wall of message boards.

Getting your hallway in order needn’t take an entire day - or even half a day. With the help of a magnetic knife rack from the kitchen department we’ve created a handy little home for keys. You can use magnets to attach notes and reminders, but metal keys ‘stick’ to the magnetic rack directly.
